How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
In this article we will guide you through setting up two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security to your Pabau account.
Two-factor authentication adds an essential extra layer of security to your account. Even if someone gets hold of your password, they won’t be able to log in without a second verification step.
- For maximum protection, make sure all staff members are enrolled in 2FA.
Step 1: Navigate to Setup
Start by logging in to your Pabau account using your login credentials. Then, navigate to the Setup page by clicking the "Setup" button

Step 4: Manage 2FA Enrollment
Here you'll find security recommendations provided by Pabau. These suggestions highlight areas where your account's security can be improved. By clicking Manage on the 2FA recommendation, you can see all staff members and their current enrollment status — including which 2FA methods they have available.

Select the users you want to enroll and select Reset users to send them an enrollment invite.

Step 5: Set 2FA Preferences
Once users are enrolled, scroll down to Account 2FA preferences to choose which 2FA methods your staff are allowed to use — authenticator app (recommended), text message, or email. At least one method must remain enabled at all times.

Once you've configured your preferences, click Save Changes in the top right corner to apply them.
By following these steps, you can set up and manage two-factor authentication for all staff members in your Pabau account.
